The cost of retraining 54 student PSNI officers, embroiled in a suspected case of concerted cheating in exams, is almost half a million pounds.
It emerged in June that trainees based at the Garnerville policing college in greater Belfast allegedly memorised and shared individual examination questions in case they needed to prepare for re-sits.
